Serendipity....my blog makeover!

Thanks so much to everyone who bragged about their beautiful blogs on Friday (not sure how that post got deleted :-( )  That afternoon I saw Megan from I Teach, What's Your Super Power sent out a call for guinea pigs for a project and when I checked out the post...it was for a blog makeover!  I got chosen and here is the result! 

You can check out her new designs here:  Modern and Fresh

She sent me a set of directions to look over the designs and all of the options.  We spent a good chunk of Saturday emailing back and forth as she answered all my questions.  I chose the Boxed and Patterned design and a palette I found on DesignSeeds. 



She asked me about fonts and I told her the three I liked best.  Then she gave me a few options for my header and social media buttons and the next morning, my blog was all set.  She also sent me a banner for my TpT store and a set of coordinating papers.   I really lucked out sending my wish for a blog makeover out into the universe!


I totally love it.  It's so much prettier and cleaner than my old look...although my husband was surprised it isn't all pinked out!

Happy Monday everyone!

    Hey, girl! Love the new look. And I love how much enthusiasm and joy teachers bring to their work. My name is Sherri Winston. I'm a children's author living in Orlando, FL. I travel around doing author visits to schools. Seeing the classrooms and the kids are two of the favorite things I love about what I do. And meeting cool teachers and media specialists is THE big highlight. So rock on and check out my blog on wordpress, sherriwinston.com
